Europe's album nominated at Classic Rock 'Roll of Honour' Awards

Classic Rock Magazine has revealed the nominations for their annual awards bash – The Classic Rock 'Roll Of Honour' Awards which takes place on Wednesday 10 November at London’s Roundhouse, hosted by Alice Cooper.

For the first time in the awards’ history the show will also feature live performances from Cheap Trick and Alter Bridge.

Six of the categories on the night, including Album of the Year, for which Europe's Last Look At Eden has been included in the list of initial nominations, will be decided by the public vote (see the categories to vote for by visiting the following link -http://awards2010.classicrockmagazine.com/index.php).

There will be a number of special achievement awards on the night, with the winners to be revealed over the coming months.


The Album of the Year category is a very impressive list, just proving that some of the Old Guard in rock music can still produce the goods, with brilliant new albums from Cheap Trick (their strongest album for some time), Slash, Iron Maiden, Ratt, Foreigner, Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Scorpions. Regular readers will know that here at Rockgig we were mightily impressed with a certain Swedish band's new album, obviously we don't want to influence your vote, but here's a clue to one of our favourites...
